Kou Yuanwai naturally gave good advice and stayed true to his feelings.
But seeing no results, he had no choice but to say: "It's getting late today, so I would like to ask the holy monk to stay overnight so that the disciples can entertain him again. Let's go on our way again early tomorrow morning."
As he said this, the Kou member was about to kneel down.
Firstly, it is difficult to refuse, and secondly, it is not necessary to miss this night. If you want to stay for one night, you can leave early tomorrow morning.
Fahai supported him, Kou Yuanwai, and did not let him bow down.
This day is another good reception.
It was just a fast, and Kou Yuanwai went to rest first, leaving his second wife, his daughter Zhu Liya, and his youngest son Kou Hui to accompany him.
In the past few days, Julia has often met with Master Tripitaka and others, and she has become quite familiar with them. However, she is not interested in Buddhism. All she asks about is the customs of the Tang Dynasty and what is common in the Tang Dynasty, but they are rare here. things.
"Although I haven't seen my mother since I was a child, I have heard my father and brothers mention stories about my mother when she was doing business." Julia said to Master Sanzang: "The holy monk is traveling all the way from the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu. This journey must be I have already made a smooth passage. The little girl is not talented and wants to take over the mantle of her late mother. Sooner or later she will personally take the caravan goods to see the style of the Tang Dynasty."
"The female donor has great ambitions." Fahai immediately praised her after hearing her words: "The poor monk wishes the female donor that she will get her wish and eventually achieve something."
After receiving Master Tripitaka's instructions, Julia was very happy.
Especially when she saw her second mother looking unhappy on one side, she felt even happier.
After hearing this, the housekeeper thought, "Okay, the three young masters don't want this family property. It turns out you are concerned about it."
It’s not to blame that the housekeeper has a dark heart. It’s really because the bandits fed him too much. In addition, he has always treated him well. The housekeeper has hooked up with the second lady again. Although he didn’t say it, in his heart, I’m afraid. He has been coveting the wealth of the Kou Mansion for a long time.
He is still waiting for him and the second lady to take over the Kou Mansion's property after the old man Kou Hong dies!
I just didn't expect that the second lady would ignore me since she met Master Sanzang; and Julia, a little girl, wouldn't even settle for peace. Humph!
be mine!
It's all mine!
How could I let you snatch it away!
The daughter's family will eventually marry. Thinking of this, the housekeeper suddenly thought of the second lady's insistence on breaking up Voss and Julia.
It is said that Vos is Kou Yuanwai's distant nephew, a cousin, and he and Julia have been engaged since childhood. It was only after his family fell into decline that he came to Kou Yuanwai.
At that time, Julia was having a conflict with the second lady, and the second lady used this as an excuse to say that marrying a daughter of the Kou family to a poor boy would be insulting to the family tradition. Only then did Kou Yuanwai agree to the matter.
Because of this, Julia had a long-term temper with Kou Yuanwai, and she was locked up in the attic for a year. Even after she came out of the attic, there was still some distance between herself and Kou Yuanwai, let alone her stepmother. It is a situation in which water and fire are incompatible and irreconcilable.
But what the housekeeper was thinking about at this time was that if the second wife had not had much trouble back then, she might have been married off long ago. The so-called married daughter is just water thrown out. If you want to fight for the family property in the future, it will not be so Easy.
The housekeeper was thinking in his mind when he heard the second lady say: "Julia, even if she is Master Tripitaka, she has encountered many difficulties along the way. How can you, a weak woman, travel through thousands of mountains and rivers and accomplish such a hundred and eighty-eight thousand things?" A thousand miles away?”
The passion of young people will always be poured cold water on by mature adults.
Although Julia was unwilling to admit what the second lady said, she knew that this was the reality facing her.
But even so, she is not pessimistic in her heart. The solution to the problem is the path taken by people, and it will definitely be found, even if this person is not herself.
Could it be that when Master Tripitaka set out from Chang'an, he was sure that he could go all the way to Tianzhu?
With such an example in front of us, what is there to be afraid of when facing these difficulties?
Therefore, when facing the Second Madam who seemed concerned but was actually aggressive, Julia smiled and said, "The Second Madam is worried. Of course, this matter cannot be solved overnight. I will accumulate experience in business trips bit by bit, and wait until the time comes." After that, I will set off for the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the difficult journey along the way, although I was born in the Kou Mansion, my body is not considered noble. It just so happened that a few days ago, Mr. Ao taught me some methods of nourishing Qi. Now, This body is getting stronger and stronger."
"It's just that, Second Madam, I noticed that you don't look well these days. The circles under your eyes are dark and heavy, but you can't sleep well at night?"
What a sharp-tongued little girl!
The second lady was about to have a fit, but since Master Tripitaka was still here, in order to maintain her virtuous image, she suppressed it, but she was not willing to talk to the little girl anymore.
If you can't explain everything in a few sentences, I'm afraid it will make you sick.
Here, the second lady and Julia had a good time. Fahai and others naturally did not stay long. After a few polite words, they stood up to say goodbye and returned to the Zen room.
"snort!"
The second lady and Julia looked at each other disgustedly. After looking at each other and snorting coldly at each other, they also separated and went back to their respective rooms, whipping up their whips.
Originally, the second lady wanted to look for Master Sanzang again, but after these days, she was so insecure that not only could she not accomplish anything good, but she almost gave herself to the Buddha.
Back in the room, the second lady saw that the Kou member was sleeping soundly, and she snorted in her heart: "You old damn ghost, look at the daughter you gave birth to."
Huh-huh-
The only thing that fell in the ears of the second lady was this snoring sound.
Beep--
Not long after, two whistles sounded outside.
The second lady was startled at first, and subconsciously looked at the Kou member beside her, but seeing that he still showed no sign of waking up, she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to respond, but before she could take off her clothes, she paused. After a moment of movement, he stood up and quietly went downstairs.
After leaving the yard, I looked around for a while and saw no one around, so I walked quickly into the small forest outside the yard.
The manor of the Kou Mansion is very large. There are matching groves outside almost every courtyard. Even outside the Zen room where Master Tripitaka and others rest, and where the young masters and Julia live, there are also their own woods. of.
Therefore, Julia was able to meet Voss many times.
The second lady can also have a private meeting with the housekeeper in this grove.
The housekeeper waited in the grove for a long time, but could not see the figure of the second lady. He became more and more irritable, so he still moved back and forth between the two trees.
Just when he was impatient, he heard the second lady's very charming voice: "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
The housekeeper quickly put down the leaves in his hand and hurried towards the direction of the second lady, saying: "Second lady, these days I..."
"What are you?"
When the second lady saw him reaching out to hug her, she subconsciously stepped back. Her face was stunned for a moment, and then she said bitterly, "I should have known."
"what do you know?"
"You never have me in your heart. I'm just a tool for you to vent." Under the moonlight, the housekeeper's face looked a little red, obviously he was emotional.
After hearing this, the second lady frowned slightly and couldn't help but look up and down at the housekeeper in front of her. But seeing that his mood was extremely unstable at the moment, she calmed down a little.
Although she was disdainful, she understood one thing. There was a man and a woman here alone, and if he really couldn't think about it for a while, he didn't know what trouble would happen.
For the current plan, we still need to stabilize him first.
Even if it's not for your own safety now, you still have to think about the future.
Although the two of them are grasshoppers in the same boat to a certain extent, if he is too stimulated and has to fight to the death, it is not worth it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The second lady was disdainful in her heart, but she said coquettishly: "You didn't expect that I would be such a person in your heart. Just pretend that I am blind and have never known you."
As she said that, the eyes of the Second Madam suddenly became watery, and she saw tears about to fall down. The housekeeper became anxious again, his expression became even more nervous, and he quickly explained: "No, no, no—, I didn't mean that, Second Madam , you listen to my explanation."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu——, you heartless one, luckily I listened to your whistle, dressed up and came here, but you don't have to explain." The second lady's acting skills were not simple, she pretended to be sad and sobbing, and murmured in her mouth : "Since you look at me like this, you don't have to come looking for me in the future. I'll just leave."
The second lady has always been good at dealing with men.
But there are different ways to deal with different men.
She looked like three completely different faces in front of the bandit, the housekeeper, and Master Tripitaka.
The scene in front of him opened the eyes of Wu Jing, who was standing beside him, with a spirit of obsession.
Then, the discussion between the housekeeper and the second lady made Wu Jing even more amazed. You two are really brave!
"Bang bang bang."
There was a knock on the door of the Zen room.
Wu Jing opened the door, and the person who came was the second lady of the Kou Mansion.
"Let me in quickly, I have something important to tell your master." The second lady looked anxious, "This is a matter of life and death!"
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name, "Wu Jing, let the female donor come in."
After receiving the master's instructions, Wu Jing naturally got out of the way and walked into the room. Seeing several disciples there, he wanted to let them out. However, seeing that several disciples were very vicious people, without Master Sanzang's instructions, he would have How could a woman like her dare to say this in front of them?
After suppressing the thoughts in his heart for a while, he moved towards the direction of Xiao Bailong, then knelt down in front of Master Sanzang and said: "Holy Monk, help me!"
"If you have anything to say, the donor might as well say it slowly." Master Sanzang stretched out his hand to support her, and there was already a force of magic that lifted the second lady from the ground.
"It's the housekeeper." The second lady reported directly to Master Sanzang face to face, "He has made a poisonous plan to harm us, the young and the young of the Kou family, as well as the holy monks and disciples."
"Oh!" The Great Sage jumped on a chair and asked, "What's the reason? What kind of vicious plan is it?"
The second lady gritted her teeth and said nothing, only skipping the previous question, and said to everyone: "He will wait until the holy monk and the elders leave tomorrow, lead the robbers into the house, rob the property, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill my master. , as well as Hui'er and Zhu Liya. Finally, I was asked to report to the official. He came out to testify and said that those who robbed property and killed people were the holy monks, masters and disciples."
"Why do you obey him? Why does he trust you and won't betray him?" Bajie asked from the side.
"Because.Because"
At this moment, the second lady's nervousness was no longer an act. After all, her affair with the housekeeper was a bit shady. She came here to report it to Master Sanzang. Although it was said that she had a good heart and was unwilling to follow the housekeeper.
But in the final analysis, her purpose is not that simple.
She knew that if the Kou Mansion fell into the hands of the housekeeper, she would really have no good life in the future.
Firstly, without the good reputation of the Kou members, the reputation of the Kou family is not as good as before; secondly, he also knows the secret of the housekeeper. Even if he is obsessed with him now, he will not do anything to him for the time being, but in a few years Woolen cloth?
When the time comes, I will be old and frail, and will no longer have the charm I have now. It is actually not difficult to imagine what my end will be like.
Under such circumstances, the choices she could actually make were very limited.
In fact, even if the two ladies didn't tell them, they would have known the cause and effect of this matter a long time ago. After all, with Wu Jing's spirit of obsession, those seemingly hidden things would never escape Wu Jing. eyes and ears.
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Buddha's name and looked at the second lady who was constantly repenting in front of him with a slightly complicated expression.
Fahai is very clear about the complexity of human nature. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
There is actually nothing wrong with the second lady's current choice. It can even be said to be within his expectation.
"Of course the poor monk will not sit idly by in this matter." Fahai and the second lady looked at each other, and then added: "But many things cannot be concealed. The female donor might as well ask her heart carefully. How did we get to where we are today?"
Master Tripitaka's words echoed in the second lady's heart.
The second lady was silent. She knew that Master Tripitaka probably knew everything.
It's over.
As expected of an eminent monk, the second lady couldn't hide it from him. She sighed deeply and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
In fact, Fa Hai also found it a bit difficult to deal with the second lady in front of him.
If they were ordinary people who burned, killed and looted, he would have arrested them and sent them to the government. But these two ladies did something wrong, but they also had some inside stories.
It was also because she was fond of vanity that she married a Kou member, but then she couldn't bear the loneliness and hooked up with the housekeeper in the mansion. It didn't matter, after she saw him in the mansion, she actually made a plan for herself. .
That is to say, Xiao Bailong is often not in the house, otherwise Fahai would even think that these two ladies would dare to plot with Xiao Bailong.
Mainly because of the Kou Yuanwai's face, otherwise Fahai wouldn't have put so much effort into the second wife these days. Now it seems that it can't be said to be ineffective.
No matter what she thinks in her heart, being able to report the news this time will not be in vain for these days of Dharma.
But a mistake is a mistake. The difference is whether she is forced to admit her mistake or whether she can truly repent and be willing to be punished.
